As you can tell by the name of this post, we have a garden in the back yard, and after a slow start it is now growing quite voraciously. It's hard for me to keep up with during this season of school starting and being 29 weeks into my pregnancy, but we have been able to enjoy many helpings of tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, snap peas, and basil (Elliot loves green pasta). Butternut squash and pumpkins are finally growing, and I look forward to cooking with both of them as the weather cools off a bit.
Speaking of warm weather, while it has been a mild summer, one hot afternoon a couple of weeks ago the girls and I pulled out the watercolors and pencils and made a poster to document all that is growing in our garden. I brought in a few different kinds of tomatoes and a cucumber from the garden to help our paintings. Elliot mostly scribbled, but Rebecca was able to come up with some pretty good representations of both. I added a few of my own renderings to the poster as well. Take a look! We then cleaned, peeled and nibbled on our freshly picked snacks.
